United Soviets of Anarchia
Then we can claim achievements of both Soviet Union and U S of A as ours.

Two friends and I had this discussion, and we went pretty far in depth about how we'd structure society and production in a way that allowed us to stay in power indefinitely. Long story short, it'd compartmentalize everything, resulting in society practically consisting of compartments of different shapes and sizes being arranged into a grid.

We decided to name it Tetris.

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 3 points 2 months ago

"Tetrissians" sounds cool

I’d definitely fuck with another country. Good Britain. Or maybe Macedonia to fuck with Greece and North Macedonia. (Though bad Britain arguably has 3 countries.) Maybe The United State of America if it’s in the Americas.

Or maybe WaterParksylvania if I the water park budget is where I’d expect it to be.

Bad Britain has 4 countries thank you very much.

India was talking about officially changing its name a while ago and someone suggested Pakistan change its name to India to fuck with them

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Annex Florida and rename it Greatest Britain, just to fuck with the British, French, and Spanish

United States of Humanity.

We're going for a diplomatic victory to absorb the rest of the countries.

I like to imagine an alternate universe where the Kaliningrad Oblast didn't exist, and in its place was a 4th Baltic country, I call it Dooland (formal name: Republic of Dooland).

Their language, Doolish, is actually a Germanic language based on German, but simpler than even English, and doesn't have any conjugation tenses or case system, and phonetics similar to Italian (yes, a Germanic language where the R makes the trill sound).

The flag is a horizontal tricolor, purple on top (yes, purple), blue in the middle, and green on the bottom, representing grasslands late at dusk in a starry night sky, where it's usually pretty cold. Purple goes on the top because idk it looks better?

Cities include the capital, which I named Almara (don't ask why), where a sandwich shaped like an ice cream cone is sold (unfortunately I stole this idea from Disney), however it's not the biggest city, that title goes to Celestia (way nicer name), where the aurora borealis can be seen, usually next to a giant grass field which the flag is based on. It also houses a very popular music festival that doubles as its tourist attraction.

In terms of a national animal, I went with the koi fish. It has a very calm vibe if you ask me.

Seems like a fun country if it did exist.

One might say I actually fantasize (complete with dumps) about having owned a micronation for a while, but I forgot the name of it as it was written once in Wingdings while buzzed. Inevitably it's going to be renamed.

Good names! They sound original and they could all pass as a country

Something like Chlamydia Bubble Cum Fart
And each week I'll declare war to a new first world country, so the news would constantly have a title in first page like "Chlamidia Bubble Cum Fart is menacing Finland"

Aaries, just to be at the top of the phonebook

United Region States of Auber (or just Auber for short)

Named after a region for a pokemon fan game I wanna work on once I learn how to do what I want. The region in that world is split into 4 region states, which is how I'd split it in a real world equivalent. Three regions which act like states or provinces and the capital being its: own mini region.

[–] FeelThePower@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 months ago

probably the name of a long gone country just to fuck with people. maybe I'd call it USSR or Yugoslavia. Joseon dynasty. West Florida. ect

[–] OozingPositron@feddit.cl 2 points 2 months ago

Remember Kickassia?

[–] xilliah@beehaw.org 2 points 2 months ago

Probably after some existing country in order to replace it.
